DAUGHTER: I have to use the bathroom.
ME: *pulls into rest stop*
DAUGHTER: Thanks.
ME: Make sure you’re back in 5 minutes.
DAUGHTER: I will.
ME: We accidentally left your brother behind once.
DAUGHTER: I don’t have a brother.
ME: Exactly.

My parents actually did leave my sister behind at a gas station once on vacation.

They realized pretty quickly and turned around.

Forty-some years later, still not sure how I feel about it, heh.

@DelilahTech @UncleDuke1969 my parents left me on the side of a road in rural vermont once because they thought that would teach me not to fight with my sister. they planned to come back for me 5min later but instead spent an increasingly frantic hour looking for me while i calmly struck out for the nearest town.
